iD Community News and Updates – January 2022Blog

Happy New Year!A big welcome to both our brand-new Community members and those returning after the festive period.This is the place to find all your handy help and support content on all things iD Mobile, but it’s also a perfect place to get chatting to loads of other brilliant people, too! It’s these two pillars that make the Community what it is, and we can’t wait to show you what we’ve got planned in 2022. But first, let’s take a look back on some of the biggest, most exciting changes we made last year.We think you’ll agree, the iD Community has never looked stronger:In early 2021, we separated the Help & Support hub from Community posts and packed it full of new and updated content.

This is a Community unlike any other, and now our homepage shows it. We’ve streamlined our Community categories. Whe

Fraudulent Delivery Service SMSNews

Advice for our Customers: Customers affected – Android UsersWhat we have identified – We’ve been made aware that a number of our customers may have been targeted with SMS messages that have been made to look like they were sent from delivery services such as DHL, Amazon and Argos (although there may be others).These messages instruct the recipient to download a file to enable tracking of a fictitious package. If this link is clicked on an Android device, an attempt to download malicious software (Malware) will occur. If this malware is permitted to download and install, it could gain permissions on your phone to intercept and send SMS messages, while also attempting to capture any online banking details stored on your device. Users of iOS devices (iPhone & iPad) are unaffected by any attempt to download the above-mentioned file from the SMS message. Advice for ALL customers: If you have received the message but have taken no further action, i.e., you have not clicked on the link in
